Samsung Gear S2 Review: On the Right Track


Samsung has been going at it in the wearables game for a while now, and their past attempts has been somewhat underwhelming. With the Gear S2, they finally have a watch that I think is at least worth checking out.

Sony Xperia Z5 Review: Same Same, But Different


Yup, you read it right. Yet another Sony Z-series flagship phone review. In case you have forgotten, here's a quick reminder. While the Xperia Z3+ was announced in late May (if you don't count the Z4), the phone only arrived in Singapore early July. So after just little over 3 months, I now have the Xperia Z5 in my hands. And nope, I have no idea what the folks over at Sony were smoking.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha - BLTN


Hot on the heels of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact's BLTN (Better Late Than Never) review, comes another BLTN review of another compact smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Other than just being a compact smartphone that doesn't compromise too much on specifications, the aptly named Galaxy Alpha also marked a new beginning for Samsung Galaxy devices as a whole. Which is why I think it deserves a post of its own.
